My five favourite covers from September 2026's books! #Fantasy #SciFi #Reading #2026Books

The entire Republican party in a nutshell

Today is new book day! Here’s another 22 for you to check out:

Another day, another group of actual Republican Nazis exposed. “It wasn’t a couple of crazies. The popular sentiment was, ‘Yes, slavery should be legal,’” a former member of Nevada Republican congressional candidate Marty O’Donnell's Discord says. Lots of Hitler fandom as well:

Republican politicians are *obsessed* with schoolchildren coming home a different gender because of pro-trans teachers, WHICH NEVER HAPPENS. But they are completely indifferent to schoolchildren not coming home *at all* because of guns, WHICH HAPPENS ALL THE TIME!

This Sunday morning, russia dropped 3 250kg aerial bombs on a residential area of Sloviansk. At least 8 people were injured, 3 of them hospitalized. Join Sky Defense—help protect Ukrainian cities: u24.gov.ua/sky-defense?...

Free Palestine continues cheering every form of war crime and systemic hate in existence as long as Jewish people are the victims.

In Phoenix, the Democratic candidate for CD-8 was out repairing yard signs when suddenly she was brutally assaulted and raped. www.phoenixnewtimes.com/news/congres...

The latest from "Society when Republicans don't govern."

ICE is now separating children from their parents in the nation’s interior and deeming them “unaccompanied.” www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Please, you guys, help if you can. Even a little bit. I don't know Ashley, but her current reality is mind-boggling to me, a person living in Canada with far better access to healthcare. Ashley shouldn't have to fight bureaucracy in order to fight for her life. 😥🩷 gofund.me/940c76ede

This book is THE book I have been waiting for. This is the book that marries the past and the present and is giving me more tools to fight back against Jew Hatred and stand with my Jewish friends from now on into the future. Call it a hearty recommendation:

The LGBTQ Gothic, Dark Fantasy and Horror bundle is live, with 30 books for $10 over on Itch. So much great work, including my own Manor of Shadows, My Lord by @shimaira.com and Shadow and Flame by @sylviehelstaff.bsky.social and many more. Find it here itch.io/b/3931/lgbtq...

Saying Call of Duty and Halo are apolitical is one helluva dog whistle. It's okay when we do post-9/11 military-industrial-complex politics, but leave everything else at the door. www.thegamer.com/mike-ybarra-...

Two brothers have been charged in connection with a long-running scheme to raise money for Hamas by disseminating propaganda and soliciting donations for “the poor and orphans in Gaza” via social media, court records show.

Democrats blast Trump for frequently falling asleep during official events, but we saw the exact same thing from Joe Biden. And by "the exact same thing," I mean he never actually fell asleep in public but it totally felt like he might. by Jake Tapper

Discoverability for new SFF books seems way down these days, especially outside of bestsellers and certain subgenres. I'm noticing this as both a reader and a writer. Great stuff is in danger of sinking without a trace. Please post about new/recent books you love or are excited for!!! I'll start:

Buy my book? *Puppy eyes*

I left t w i t t e r years ago but someone posted this to Reddit and it's completely fucking accurate!!!

I am remarkably lazy talking about my own books. I'd much rather yell about how great my friends' are, or the polycrisis, or any of my special interests (mostly books again, TBF) However: I wrote 🇨🇦 books! Gothic-dystopian dark fantasy x ecohorror for teens & up! Book 1 is free! books.kawiggins.com

Sen. Susan Collins helped steer millions in federal defense contracts to Navatek, whose CEO illegally funneled thousands of dollars to her campaign. The FBI sought to launch a probe and was eyeing Collins and other lawmakers. Then Trump gutted the unit in charge. THREAD 🧵

Tell me again how both parties are the same.

I cannot express how concerning this is, and how worried I am that nobody has the political will yet to crack down on it before things get really bad

Reading the first book in this series now- so far it’s very good

THE DOOR ON THE SEA 🌊1st in a new epic fantasy series (out in paperback next week) Book 2 - THE EAGLE IN THE MOUNTAIN - Nov 2026!) 🛶 Inspired by the culture and folklore of the Tlingit tribe of Alaska 🐦‍⬛ Ft. a REALLY rude Raven Buy/Preorder geni.us/doorsea geni.us/eagleim

Your life saving clinical trail could be TERMINATED by the Trump administration. We scraped through the data and found that 50% of all clinical trials are at risk of being cancelled. It's time to talk about it and what you can do to stop this. 🧵 🧪

Lovely review by @roseblack2222.bsky.social for A Crack in the World on Bookbub. Thanks!

Do we all agree on what he slogan Free Palestine” means? I took screenshots of an illustrated post by Jordyn Tilchen on Instagram explaining how it was designed to be vague & sow chaos by not having a 100% clear definition. Please read this through this thread & understand the manipulation at work.>

You can read all of Dark Science (as well as my various side comics) for free on my website! dresdencodak.com/archives/

To put it clearer, and to riff on a different meme: [Person who only got taught things through being abused and beaten:] The only way people are ever going to learn something is if you abuse and beat them.
